| From the introduction, the five sandwiches named after Gator's friends are priced at
$10.95. $9.95, $8.95, $7.95, and $6.95. By clue 1, the Popeye costs $2.00 more than
the turkey club, while by clue 7, the Wendy costs $2.00 more than the Italian sub.
The only ways for these two clues to fit together given the prices is for either
the Popeye or the Wendy to cost $10.95 and the other $8.95 or for the two sandwiches
to be a dollar apart in price. If the Popeye costs $10.95 and the Wendy $8.95, the
Wendy would be a turkey club (1)--which it isn't (4). Similarly, if the Wendy
costs $10.95 and the Popeye $8.95, the Popeye would be the Italian sub (7)--no (3). So,
the two sandwiches are $1.00 apart in price with either the Popeye or the Wendy costing
more. If the Wendy costs $1.00 more than the Popeye, then the Italian sub would sell
for $1.00 less than the Popeye (7) and the turkey club would cost $1.00 less than
the Italian sub (1)--the four would be four consecutive prices of the five. By clue 6,
the tuna melt's price is $1.00 higher than the McDonald's. The only way clue 6 could fit
with the arrangement of clues 1 and 7 where the Wendy costs more than the Popeye and
where there are five sandwiches named would be for the Popeye to be the tuna melt--a
conflict with clue 3. Therefore, the Wendy doesn't cost more than the Popeye; the Popeye
sells for $1.00 more than the Wendy. The turkey club is priced $1.00 less than the
Wendy (1), and the Italian sub costs $1.00 less than the club (7)--again for four
consecutive menu prices of the five. By clue 6, the tuna melt is priced $1.00 more
than the McDonald. The only way clue 6 can fit into the clues 1 and 7 order without
there being six sandwiches is that the tuna melt is the Wendy and the McDonald the
turkey club. By clue 2, the Carl is neither the crab cake sandwich nor the garden
burger; the Carl is the Italian sub. Since the Papa Bell costs less than the crab cake
sandwich (5), the Papa Bell is the garden burger and costs $6.95, with the Popeye crab
cake sandwich then priced at $10.95. The Wendy costs $9.95, the McDonald $8.95, and
the Carl $7.95. The five sandwiches sell at Gator's Grill as follows:
- $10.95 - the Popeye crab cake sandwich
- $9.95 - the Wendy tuna melt
- $8.95 - the McDonald turkey club
- $7.95 - the Carl Italian sub
- $6.95 - the Papa Bell garden burger
